Kolkata, June 23: CPI(M) trade union wing CITU today said, if was approached, it would support any agitation by the Air India employees, who are currently facing the possibility of having their June month’s salaries delayed.
“Though, we do not have presence among Air India employees, we are open to support (them),” CITU state secretary Kali Ghosh said here today.
On the proposal for wage cut in AI, he said, CITU was opposed to it.
Air India had said that June month’s salary to its 30,000 employees could be delayed by 15 days due to a money crunch. The flagship carrier also came out with a proposal to cut the wage bill by Rs 500 crore.
The national carrier was also seeking fiscal support from the government to overcome the crisis.
